Fine, however, that is a different statement from saying you are against
having an architecture for XML elements that accommodates multiple
presentations, in multiple languages, of information stated otherwise in an
unambiguous "globally-standardized" format, eg 8601.

It's ok to believe that, as a publisher, you wouldn't format a datastream
with multiple presentations of a single piece of data. It's not ok to say
that others may not do so. Or even should not do so.
